Does your bunny live with another bunny? Are they bonded? It sounds like maybe one bunny bit the other one? If that’s the case, they should be separated.

Some more info on the bunnies can help us advise on what to do next.

I’ve got bad news and good news:

Bad news: Hunny is not eating her soaked pellets, nor is she drinking water, at least as far as I’ve seen.

Good news: Hunny ate a piece of romaine lettuce with almost no difficulty! I had to hold it above her head and let her tear at it, but she got all of it down and didn’t spit up a single bite!

I tried to g…[Read more]

Metacam she’s getting 0.4ml twice daily, her eye seems to be affected too.

I showed the xray to a vet in USA, he said there is a bad overgrowth of one tooth at the root, and said to give enroflaxacin 25mg twice daily. I’m wondering if that maybe a high dose, seeing that my bun is 2.5kgs.

Also, does the tooth need extraction then? Cause then how…[Read more]

Wow, looks like you are making good progress, in a remarkable time. 🙂 Keep us posted!

Thank you, @pinkiemarie 🙂 Knock on wood, but I have not seen any bald patches. I think you’re right and we’re just dealing with a normal (albeit heavy) molt. It was the degree of molting and size of the tufts I was pulling out from Hunny’s lower coat that was getting me worried.

It lasts way beyond the best before date if you keep it in the freezer. I used a 2 year old bag last fall with my bun without any problem.

I wouldn’t worry about that fur unless you start seeing bald patches. That’s what Wal’s bum looks like during a heavy molt. Just keep checking in on her like you have been to make sure she doesn’t develop any bald spots as that would indicate that it’s something other than a heavy molt. With her dental issues she may not be grooming herself as…[Read more]

Ok Thanks! I’ll put it there now!

Yes! I’ve already tried that and he fell fast asleep to it! It definitely  works! That was the first time I’ve seen him flop and it was adorable! He done it 3 times since then. I tried again just a bit ago getting on his level and letting him investigate and this time he jumped on my legs and sat there for a while. It looks like we’re making progress!

Thanks for the ideas! I am going to try a small round cup that attaches to an upside down soda bottle (small perimeter, but always same water level–it’s for chickens, I think) as well as an olive tray for the narrow shallow option–idea being he can’t get much if his chin in either of these.  We’ll see how it goes!  The hair under his chin i…[Read more]

I dont think Panacur interacts much with other drugs. I found a mention of diazepam being used to control seizures and fenbendazole as the best drug to suppress e cuniculi.

I’m not sure this link works, if it doesn’t, please pm me and I’ll get you a copy.

Freezer. It lasts a very long time in the freezer.

Sounds good. 🙂 One thing I like to do with my buns is play some soft piano, and they LOVE it. You sound like a good friend for your bun, I’m sure you two will get along great.

<p style=”padding-left: 40px;”>I will alert forum moderator Jerseygirl to this thread. She has more experience with reading x-rays than I have. I have a dental bun with many bad teeth, with a lot more misalignment than your x-ray is showing. My vet told me that teeth that are all white on the x-rays are dead teeth, ie teeth that are not growing…[Read more]

such a cute little fluffy lad! Congrats!

My bun get’s certain corners where he get’s obsessive about digging in corners, blankets especially add to it. I find making the area less appealing get’s him to stop after a while. Usually a board, piece of cardboard, or such in the area and removing blankets helps. Or a box with some shredded paper or one of his blankets if you want him to be…[Read more]
